I'm having a tuna overload today. I had a big tuna sandwich before I went to the gym, and now I'm just about to have a tuna baguette for my dinner. I had a good session at the gym this afternoon, after changing my routine to different days. Now I have the weekends off (yes, I'm writing this on Friday) it feels a little like I'm working during the week, whilst in reality I'm still building the muscles around my knee and its stability. I'm hoping to be fit enough to go back to work after the New Year, but I do have a phone interview early next week, so I'm not sure what might happen there…
The reason why I'm telling you about the tuna overload? Well, it's not only full of protein for building muscles, but this Beatnik Pale Ale from the Gypsy Hill Brewing Company, in London, mentions how good it goes with fishy dishes. I've earned my beer at the gym with a good session, and at the low alcohol of 3.8% volume this is an ideal session beer. The can was surprisingly excitable on opening, but my lightening quick 'gamer reactions' made sure I didn't lose any by quickly shoving the opening of the can in my gob. Bitter herbal hops assaulted my nose to begin with, and then the sweet pale malts at the back of the smell. On taste those herbal hops provided less bitterness than experienced in the aroma, mixing very well with the sweet pale and probably crystal malt to produce a very rounded pale ale flavour. This will go very well indeed with my tuna baguette…
